G D
Everyone laughed at her joke
F# Bm
As if they'd never even heard it before
G D
And maybe they were truly amused
F# Bm
But every word she spoke was a bore
G D
And maybe it's because they had seen
F# Bm
The previews on the TV screen
G D
"Well this part is good and that's well understood,
F# Bm
so you should laugh if you know what I mean"
CHORUS
G(strum once) D(strum once)
But it's all relative
F# Bm
Even if you don't understand
G D
Well it's all understood
F# Bm
Especially when you don't understand
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Then it's all just because
F# Bm
Even if we don't understand
(Fill 1)
Then let's all just believe

VERSE 2
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Everyone knows what went down
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)
Because the news was spread all over town
G(strum once) D(strum once)
And fact is only what you believe
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)(w/ Fill 2)
And fact and fiction work as a team
G
It's almost always fiction in the end
D
The content begins to bend
F# Bm
When context is never the same

CHORUS
VERSE 3
G(strum once) D(strum once)
I was reading a book
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once) (w/fill 3)
Or maybe it was a magazine
G(strum once) D(strum once)
Suggestions on where to place faith
F#(strum once) Bm(strum once)
Suggestions on what to believe
G D
But I read somewhere that you've got to beware
F# Bm
You can't believe anything you read
G D
But the Good Book is good and that's well understood
F# Bm
So don't even question if you know what I mean

CHORUS
ENDING
G
But there you go
D
Once again
F#
You missed the point
Bm
And then you point
G D F#
your fingers at me
Bm G
And say that I said not to believe
G
Ah but there you go once again
D
You missed the point
And then you point your
F#
Fingers at me
Bm G D
And you say that I said not to believe
F# Bm
Well I believe
